Vogel Voters, Read Fire. Escape. For Free.

April 24, 2013

Over at scribl.com, Fire. Escape. is back to being a free download, so now is a great time to go pick it up in preparation for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards. But, because of their crowd-pricing algorithm, if a bunch of people take up that offer, the price will change.

So, if you are a Vogel voter, and you can’t get a free copy from scribl, shoot me an email at darusha@darusha.ca and I’ll send you an ebook copy in the format of your choice.

Accustomed to being an only child, adoptee Brian “Gumbo” Guillemot’s teenage hobby was searching for his birth parents. After years without a lead, when he finally finds his birth mother, Kim, he’s unprepared for the boisterous instant family that comes with her.

No one, besides Kim, knows anything about Gumbo’s birth father. With Kim refusing to answer any questions, Gumbo must choose whether to continue the search, even if it means alienating his few friends and both his families. And the more he learns, the more he wonders whether some things are better left unknown.

Captivating and playful, The Home For Wayward Parrots explores friendship, romance, modern families and geek pop culture with wit, compassion and extremely foul-mouthed birds.
